I am self-reliant and independent, but also like using the pronoun "we." While finding love would be wonderful, I'm most interested in companionship, stimulating discussion, affection and/or wild sex (If you are lucky, it will be with you.).
Learning and discovering new things are simply part of who I am, so if I meet someone with in-depth knowledge in a field or subject I will try to get them to share their insights with me. Although I am fascinated with science, I pay close attention to beauty in its many forms: I studied art history and made art in college (photography was my favorite). I follow trends in fashion, art, and design. I work primarily as a hairdresser, though I have a PhD in German Studies (Yes, really). Ask me about my dissertation topic on sacrifice, you might get lucky. 'Cause if you don't, you won't.
Cooking and making cocktails are passions. I have also gotten into sewing in the last few years, making clothes mostly. Though I won't darn your socks, I would hem your pants if you asked nicely...
To work off the meals and drinks, I dance, swim laps, ride my bicycle, and go for long walks. More hiking in the Northwest is on the to-do list. I’d love some help with that.
Road trips, in any country, are my favorite form of traveling. I've been to many countries in Europe (I lived in Berlin) and I've taken countless car and motorcycle trips in the U.S. Some of those motorcycle trips were taken solo: my round trip from Portland to Colorado, for instance. Fantasy road trips I would like to make a reality: Turkey, Vietnam, Argentina, Brazil...
I like men who are intellectually inquisitive and confident, physically fit and active. I admire skill and intellectual prowess -- they are aphrodisiacs. If along with these qualities you also possess a wry sense of humor, a well-worn pair of Carhartts, and cool shoes (I'm serious about the shoes), I look forward to hearing from you.
If all you like about my profile are my bike or the fact that I have breasts, please come up with something more interesting to say before going there. Only respond if you have a photo, and if you live in or around the Portland area. If we meet, please don't chew my ear off. Ask me questions to show you are curious and interested.
